HE  printer  or  advertiser  will  find  the  refer- 
ence matter  in  this  catalogue  in  such 
form  as  to  permit  of  a  thorough  exami- 
nation and  a  satisfactory  selection  of  a 
suitable  paper  in  an  appropriate  shade. 

Cover  papers,  that  is,  papers  for  covering  cata- 
logues, booklets,  and  similar  printed  matter,  like 
other  products,  are  prepared  for  certain  uses.  In 
choosing  a  paper  always  consider  the  character 
and  purpose  of  your  literature  and  the  amount  of 
handling  and  rough  usage  it  will  receive.  The  descrip- 
tive pages  and  the  reading  notice  at  the  foot  of  each 
page  will  assist  in  deciding  on  the  proper  material. 

There  are  shown  in  this  book  ten  lines  and  over 
sixty  shades,  representing  a  hundred  papers  of  various 
finishes,  sizes,  and  weights.  No  one  paper  mill  ever 
before  offered  so  remarkable  a  collection  of  papers 
as  the  N.  P.  Mills  do  in  this  catalogue.

ACCORD  BOOK  PAPER 


THE  N.  P.  Mills  have  delayed  in  plac- 
ing a  book  paper  on  the  market  until 
such  a  time  as  they  might  be  able  to 
furnish  a  paper  which  would  actually 
meet  the  requirements  of  the  advertising 
and  printing  trade. 

In  producing  the  four  pastel  shades  of 
Accord  Book  Paper,  the  old-time  colors,  with 
their  purple  blues  and  cold  grays,  have  been 
carefully  avoided,  and  the  paper  stock  also 
has  been  chosen  because  of  its  fine  printing 
qualities.  / 

Accord  Book  Papers  are  not  ordinary 
book  papers  adapted  to  new  uses,  but  were 
created  especially  for  advertising  literature. 
The  four  shades,  N.  P.  Pastel  BufF,  N.  P. 
Pastel  Green,  N.  P.  Pastel  Blue,  and  N.  P. 
Pastel  Gray,  are  designed  to  be  used  in  com- 
bination with  Utility  and  Sultan  Covers.

THIRD  OF  THE  SERIES  ON  THE 
MAKING  OF  PAPER 


Page  Six 


r-pi 


HE  art  of  writing  was  an  unusual  accomplishment 
among  the  Arabs  in  the  time  of  Mohammed  and  the 
common  writing  material  of  their  neighbors,  papyrus 
or  parchment,  was  a  rare  exotic  in  Arabia.  The 
Koran  itself,  as  its  various  portions  were  from  time  to 
time  revealed,  was  to  some  extent  entrusted  to  memory,  but  was 
more  generally  taken  dovm  by  the  secretaries  of  the  prophet  on 
almost  anything  at  all  suitable  that  happened  to  be  at  hand. 
Zaid  ibn  Thabit,  who  was  entrusted  with  the  task  of  first 
collecting  into  one  whole  the  scattered  fragments  of  the  work 
some  years  after  Mohammed's  death,  gathered  it,  we  are  told, 
from  strips  of  cloth,  palm  leaves,  skins,  smooth  stones,  the 
shoulder  blades  of  sheep,  the  bones  of  camels,  and  from  the 
memory  of  men.    The  scarcity  of  a  good  writing  surface  could 
hardly  be  more  emphasized;  for  Mohammed  was  rich  and 
powerful  for  years  before  his  death,  and  these  scattered  revela- 
tions were  regarded  as  the  very  words  of  Allah  himself.  It 
must  be  added,  however,  that  at  this  time  the  Arabs  set  no 
!  great  store  upon  written  documents  among  themselves,  that 

isome  of  their  tribes  possessed  a  considerable  unwritten  litera- 
ture, and  that  many  of  the  Moslems  knew  the  Koran  by  heart, 
;  and  it  was  only  when  the  ranks  of  these  "  Carriers  of  the 
Koran  "  had  been  thinned  in  a  bloody  battle  that  the  project  of 
collecting  the  work  in  a  single  written  volume  was  undertaken. 

Whatever  may  have  been  the  poverty,  ignorance,  or  careless- 
ness of  the  Arabs  at  this  time  as  regards  writing  material,  they 
4were  destined  not  long  after  to  become  expert  paper  makers 
themselves,  and  to  spread  a  knowledge  of  the  art  over  the 
whole  world  of  civilization.

Interesting,  but  not   especially  useful,  the   "prac-  printing  in 
tical"  printer  says.  No,  not  unless  there  is  recognizable  3R£iatu)n  to 
in  this,  as  in  all  that  has  been  said  about  art  in  print-  ^^^^J" 
ing,  the  subtle  relation  between  the  vital  elements  of 
graphic  art  and  those  refinements  of  knowledge  and 
practice  which  tend  to  bring  printing  nearer  to  the 
arts.  The  connection  is  there,  and  is  evident  to  the 
seeing  eye.   In  nature  and  in  life  the  sense  of  values 
is  of  such  importance  that  without  it  objects  would 
not  have  relative  positions;  all  would  be  a  jumble  of 
shades  and  tones,  objects  and  colors;  we  would 
stumble,  as  we  could  not  see  depressions ;  we  would 
grasp  an  arm  or  the  empty  air,  when  we  attempted 
to  seize  a  hand ;  we  could  not  judge  distances.   It  is 
upon  the  extent  and  the  thoroughness  of  the  printer  s 
knowledge  of  this  question  of  values  that  the 
degree  of  refinement  and  truth  he  is  able 
to  impart  to  a  certain  class  of  work 
depends,  and  hence  its  money 
value  to  him  and  its  intrin- 
sic value  to  his  patrons. 


Accord  book  papers  and  Utility  or  Sultan  covers 
permit  an  easy  selection  of  book  and  cover  papers 
which  are  in  harmony.

THE  PERSONAL 
ELEMENT 

THE  present  revival  of  interest  in 
printing  as  an  art  has  its  basis 
almost  entirely  on  the  personal 
element,  which  is  being  recognized 
again  in  much  the  same  manner  as  it  is 
in  the  estimates  which  are  now  made  of 
the  works  of  the  early  printers  and  of 
others  who  have  brought  distinction  to 
their  arts.  Although  the  evidence  of 
this  personal  element  is  more  noticeable 
in  the  special  kinds  of  book-making 
which  have  been  instanced,  it  is,  never- 
theless, of  equal  or  even  greater  impor- 
tance in  every  well-established,  thorough- 
going printing  office,  whether  devoted 
to  book  or  commercial  work.  This  per- 
sonal taste  and  care  are  even  more  vital 
to  commercial  printing,  which  is  usually 
intended  to  exercise  a  definite  influence 


Book  paper  for  publicity  purposes,  like  the  cover  of 
a  booklet,  to  be  effective  must  attract.

THE  DIVISION  SHEET 


P.  Pellasgi  Italia  has  been  used  as  a  division 
sheet  throughout  this  catalogue.  Italia 
papers  make  exceptionally  good  material 
for  this  purpose  as  they  are  made  of  high- 
grade  stock  and  will  stand  the  hardest  kind  of  usage 
without  appreciable  effect.  Made  in  delicate  colors, 
they  recommend  themselves  for  the  better  class  of 
catalogues.  Italia  Papers  are  carried  20%  x  25  —  45 
lbs.  (500  sheets). 

Homespun  Covers  are  also  employed  a  great  deal 
for  this  same  class  of  work.  They  are  more  flexible 
than  Italia  papers  but  not  so  dainty  in  color.  In  the 
last  sample  book  issued  by  the  N.  P.  Mills,  N.  P. 
Sage  Homespun  was  used  as  a  dividing  sheet. 
Homespun  Covers  are  carried  in  the  20  x  25  —  50  lbs. 
(500  sheets)  and  20x25  —  30  lbs.  (500  sheets). 

The  main  object,  in  selecting  a  paper  for  descrip- 
tive or  division  page,  should  be  to  see  that  the  stock 
will  withstand  being  thumbed  and  bent  in  the  course 
of  handling.  It  must  be  sufficiently  pliable  to  avoid 
breaking  and  tearing,  thus  enabling  it  to  last  the  life 
of  the  book.
